GOP Sen. Marco Rubio is trying to separate himself from a growing isolationist wing of the Republican Party by pushing to make "decisive" diplomacy and foreign aid, rather than military power, the pillars of American foreign policy.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, frustrated by Republicans who have

that would change Senate rules over GOP objections to prevent
filibusters of presidential nominations, according to one senior
Democratic aide and another Democratic source.
